Navision 4.0 & Citrix Presentation Server 4.0

rpaz61

Hello,

We are currently running the Navision 4.0 client software on a Windows Server 2003 box running Citrix Presentation Server 4.0. We are having an issue with the client software lauching when trying to pass the NETTYPE=TCP parameter to change the Net Type from TCPS to TCP. I've tried the following and here's the end results:

In the Citrix Presentation Server Console under Application Location, Command Line:

"C:\Program Files\Navision400\Client\fin.exe" NETTYPE=TCP

Net Type does not change from TCPS to TCP

"C:\Program Files\Navision400\Client\fin.exe NETTYPE=TCP"
"C:\Program Files\Navision400\Client\fin.exe" "NETTYPE=TCP"

"Citrix MetaFrame - "Navision" failed to start. The Citrix server is unable to process your request to start this published application. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your administrator."

What's the correct way to pass the NETTYPE=TCP parameter when launching the Navision 4.0 client in a Citrix environment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob Paz

The database server itself must also be running under TCP.

Daniel,

Yes, the database server is also set to TCP.

However, my question is still unanswered - What's the correct way to pass the NETTYPE=TCP parameter when launching the Navision 4.0 client in a Citrix environment?

Thanks,

You sholdn't have to send the nettype.

Did you try "C:\prog\fin.exe" nettype=tcp

Daniel,

This is what I've tried:

"C:\Program Files\Navision400\Client\fin.exe" nettype=tcp

How can I check in the client to see that it's using TCP to connect to the database server?

Thanks,

Rob

If you specify nettype=tcp then it should use tcp, not tcps. When it is connected to a database you can check this by looking at the database information, and in the connection tab is shows you what the nettype is set to.

If you connect to your server with the nettype=tcp parameter, and your nettype in the database information says it is tcps, then your server is set to use tcps, and you will need to reset it. There's a file called "w1w1ism.pdf" in the doc folder of your product cd that will tell you all about how to do that.

OK we figured it out, as silly as it may be. In order for the nettype=tcp
parameter to work properly, the servername= parameter must be specified first. I made the change to:

C:\Program Files\Navision400\Client\fin.exe" servername=xxx,nettype=tcp

And Navision 4.0 Client opened and worked without any issues.

Thanks,

really that is a surprise, I thought you could set the nettype without the servername and just enter the servername manually when you connect. Of course that's where you can manually set the nettype as well. You learn something new every day
